Copy Bak, Trn Files To File Server With Robocopy.
Nov 29, 2007
I need help with better solution to copy my bak and trn files to a file server. This is the background. I use to dump the backup files directly to the file server; this was not €śbest practices€? according to some books and forums. Back to dump the file first to local disc and after that letting robocopy copy the files to the file server. And I end up with this problem.
This is error from the backup log
Failed-1073548784) Executing the query "BACKUP DATABASE [BPROJCT] TO DISK = N'F:\backup\BPROJCT\BPROJCT_backup_200711281700.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'BPROJCT_backup_20071128170005', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
" failed with the following error: "Write on "F:\backup\BPROJCT\BPROJCT_backup_200711281700.bak" failed: 112(There is not enough space on the disk.)
This is the error from the robocopy log
New File 0 BPROJCT_backup_200711201700.bak
2007/11/20 17:02:11 ERROR 32 (0x00000020) Copying File F:ackupBPROJCTBPROJCT_backup_200711201700.bak
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Waiting 30 seconds... Retrying...
Robocopy tries to copy the file before its completely written to disk. I have made a batch file that looks like this
robocopy
"F:ackup" "\sefwg-sqlbackackupACON" *.* /MIR /TBD /MON:1 /MOT:5 /LOG+:"F:ackupackup.log" /NP
Monitor the file folder and copy all files every 5 min, the file is started with scheduled Task.
Have I missed some switch? Can start robocopy from SQL Serer Agent in a xp_cmd_shell?

I am in the process of creating a VM server which serves as a backup for a production SQL server. the SQL server has SQL directory installed on C: and F: partitions. Sql installation files reside on C: while MSSQL directory (include backup, logs, data, etc.. ) reside on F:. The VM was created by cloning of the original (production) server but only C: partition. I need to use robocopy to copy the MSSQL directory from original sql (F:) server to the VM (F:). My questions are:
1. will doing it this way mess up database integrity on the VM?
2. What should I check to ensure installed filed registered to the new VM server instead of the original sql server?
3. what switches of robocopy should be used to produce exact copy of the MSSQL folder from original server to the VM
4. the current database is about 1GB, how long the robocopy may take?
If you have experienced this before, please share your thoughts, suggestions, ideas. Very much appreciate your feedback.
Thank you

Hi!
I did:
alter database mydb set single_user with rollback immediate;
exec sp_detach_db @dbname='mydb', @keepfulltextindexfile='true';
then I tried to copy files to new location on other drives, same server but got
>>Cannot copy <myfile>: Access is denied
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use<<
I also tried rename of file without success.
I also tried with db service stoppet (not preferred) without success.
How to find out, which process locks the files?
Best regards

I've an emergency requirement to copy Source server database backup files to destination Server through xcopy command. Backup job on source server runs daily, so once this job get completes all databases backups needs to be moved to destination server. But here the main concern is "the backup files on destination server shouldn't be overwritten, they should be placed separately as Source server job runs daily".
We've a command which overwrites backups on destination server. But we need to keep backups on destination at-least for 4 weeks (means : retention should be 4 Weeks).

I want to schedule a job which pulls files from a non SQL server (Sybase) which later needs to have a step 2 kicking the ssis package. Problem is that, on the source a batch file will run every 4 hours and outputs total of 10 text files. (takes 5 minutes complete). Now, on destination i want to pull these files via SQL job but while scheduling;
1. I don't see any option saying like 4 hours 10 minutes or so
2. If its out there, then i believe this might be a problem as this time would be an increment one e.g next run would be 4 hours 20 minutes in that case.
How should i achieve pulling these files up because we have an SSIS package on destination that needs those text files to be used as soon as they arrive on SQL server(destination)

Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.

Hello,
Sorry my newbie question, but I didn't find how to install my ready asp2.0 application (VS2005) to the target Win2003 server. I use SQL Express 2005 both in my dev machine and the Win2003 server. I simply copied all the .aspx and .mdf file there and I made a virtual directory in the server's IIS. My application works corretly without the database, but when I try to log-in it says: wrong user name or password. With Management Studio Express I made a SELECT to see my built-in users (I added these users in my dev machine before the deploying), and I found them correctly. But when I try to log-in via my application it seems as if it would be empty. Then I made a simply page with createUserWizard to try adding new users in the server but the SQL said: the database is read-only (in the IIS I enabled all rights (eg. read, write, run)).
Is there a special way to deploy my SQL file or the whole application? Sorry, I am not enough familiar with it

We are running SQL 7 on a Windows NT Server. If you copy a 25Mb filefrom this machine to a W2K server, the file copy takes over 5 minuteson a 100Mpbs switched network.Copying the same file to another NT server takes only seconds, andcopying the same file to the W2K server from the 2nd NT server, (whichis not running SQL) takes only seconds also.Has anyone any ideas as to why file copying between this machine and aW2K one will take so long. It is repliacted on 5 further w2K machines.

I have been looking for a way to copy only new flat files from an FTP server. I can find how to copy all of the files into another directory, but I only want to copy in files that are not already in my target directory.
So, is there a way to compare the files in the FTP directory to a list of files in a SQL table and use this to control the transfer, and how do I get those FTP file names into a SQL table? Or is there some other way?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Howdy, hope someone can help me out with this.I want to run a job each night that copies files from one server to another.I cant even get a simple copy one file from one directory to another,statement to work.When I try :@cmd 'copy c: empfile1.txt c:ackupsfile1.txt'master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @cmdI get the msg: 'c' is not recognised as an internal command, program orbatch file, Null.What I ideally want to do is pass xp_cmdshell variables for the 2 file'spath+names. I have tried numerous variations of single and double quoteswithout success, which is why I decided to work up form the simple 'copyc: empfile1.txt c:ackupsfile1.txt', but can't even get that to work.Any advice much appreciated.

hi , I am trying to copy files dynamically from a remot folder by using File System task ,
the files are going to be generated daily with f1yyyy-mm-dd.txt
I created 3 file connections :
- Existing remote folder (RemotFolder) and set that to var v_remotefolder
- Existing destination folder (DestFolder)
- existing file (filename) and set the expression to var (string ) =v_fname
in the File System task I set the the
Destination connection = DestFolder
Operation =Copy file
Source = filename
expression >>Property (source) = @[User::v_remotefolder] + @[User::v_fname]
I know I need the date too ,but I 'm getting error on this step.
Can you please tell me if you know how to resolve this without using For each loop since I don't have control on the remote folder and I don't want to copy unneeded files (the files are 10 GB daily) and get delete it once every month.
-I know this not uncommon task but I can't find any example.
Thanks

I am copying data from database to an excel file through SSIS. database is MS SQL 2005 and BIDS is also 2005.However, the job doing this task fails every time.As per investigation, the result of the query is more than 100,000 rows and we know that excel has a limit of 65000 rows of data.Is there a way of setting the limit up? or something? a better approach maybe so that everything will be copied to the excel file successfully.
The PrimeOutput method on component "Source - Query" (1) returned error code 0xC02020C4. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput().

I connect to remote servers using PPTP connection. There are 4 web servers and 1 production server on the other side of the firewall. From my staging server, I am supposed to archive the NT event logs(Application and system) for each of the servers.
To solve this problem, I have mapped the C drives of each of the remote servers to my local staging server. I then created a batch file, webevnt.bat containing code,
G:
Cd winnt
Cd system32
Cd config
Copy sysevent.evt c:eventarcweb01sysevent.evt
Copy appevent.evt c:eventarcweb01appevent.evt
Then I used SQL Agent to create a job of type, Operating system command(cmdexec) and typed the following command :
C:atch_~1eventl~1webevnt.bat
When I run the command, C:atch_~1eventl~1webevnt.bat through the command prompt, the files are copied with the correct modified date.
The output is,
1 file(s) copied
1 file(s) copied
But, when I use SQL Agent and start the job containing the same command, the job runs successfully but, the files have a wrong modified date. Moreover, when I view the job history for this job, it says, specified drive not found. 1 file(s) copied. 1 file(s) copied.
Please let me know why this happens.
Thank you.
